A kick squarely in the nuts to the Toronto media well played.

I get on Tuuka a lot when he is playing average but only because when he is at his best he is as good as Price, Murray, Holty or whoever. IMO he takes a backseat to nobody on that list. Price gets a lot of cred for being the man on a stacked Team Canada but what's he really done with the Habs in the playoffs? A lot of these goalies get a lot of props for short sample sizes of work, what's Bishop done? Murray gets big props from me for his back to back cups on a team that has a ragtag D. Crawford and Quick get props for the Cups but are/were playing on strong teams but I wouldn't put either of them ahead of Tuuka. Holtby has been playing for a Cup favorite for a bunch of years but no cup. I do think Holtby is in the top 5 though. I've always felt Henrik Lundqvist was a bit overrated and I feel Tuuka is better but I'm biased for sure. To Talbot, Jones and Duby, just no, get some more successful seasons in before you are ranked in front of Rask. #NHL goalies: Shots against over past five seasons Holtby 8134 Rask 8096 Lundqvist 7923 Miller 7724 Smith 7504 Lehtonen 7480 Dubnyk 7373 #NHL goalies: Wins over past five seasons Holtby 177 Rask 157 Lundqvist 153 Crawford 150 Fleury 149 Price 146 Bishop 141 Bobrovsky 139

I don't really have any feelings one, or the other for Kessel. Trading him helped us win in 2011 and, by extension, enabled him to (eventually) win a couple as well. This guy comes off as a sore sport and just another asshole local writer who thinks his opinion is worth more than it really is, or was. I actually think it is funny as hell that Kessel gets to throw it back in his face along with all the fans that went bought into the hot dog story and dumped on Phil during the last days in Toronto.

Simmons ought to know a thing or two about petty. No kidding, right? That article was the very essence of petty...even if you remove the bit about the hot dogs. Sorry Simmons, no sympathy here, in fact - pot meet kettle. Dish it, but contract a major case of the butt hurts when receiving it.

We don't have anyone that fits that description in the Boston sports media. DuPud is the epitome of impartial sports journalism and professionalism...ummm...wait a minute. Never mind.

I'm happy for Goucher, I didn't hear him much like you local guys but did really like his call when I had the opportunity.

Is this official?? If so, I expect Pasta to sign for 7.5 for 6 or 8 years very soon..

#NHLBruins President Charlie Jacobs on #NESN, "No intention on trading David (Pastrnak). Our intent is to sign him to long-term extension." . Pete didn't do us any favours there. Score another win for the agent. I'm thinking Pasta gets 7.5 as well and we may as well go for 8 years to get some Ufa years out of him. Or say fuck it and do a low ball bridge deal.

Kjc, the way salaries are going up, if you do a bridge deal, likely he gets 10 million in 2/3 years. If Bruins can get him longterm at 7 or 7.5, I say get it done now!! Just my opinion bro!!

What happens if their is a market correction after the next inevitable strike. However there is my other side that just wants to get him locked up long term and start talking about the up coming season with everybody onboard.

What I mean is look at Bergy' s contract and Marchand compared to today's market value .. No doubt, definitely bargains. My only worry is that he has one season of success and that sample small size makes this contract a gamble. If I'm the GM I'm still arguing that Pasta is still a 6.5 guy at best as opposed to a 7.5 million dollar guy. Draisaitl is a center which is a more valuable position, he has two good regular seasons under his belt (not one) and Draisaitl was a playoff beast for the Oilers in his first playoffs ever. He had 16 points while McDavid had thirteen. Three of these things have to mean something during the negotiations.
